Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 15' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gerson Torres suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 56' - Costa Rica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
